COURAGE

Courage is the foundational virtue because it empowers individuals to practice all other virtues in the face of fear, risk, or adversity. It is the force that enables moral action, personal growth, and authentic living, making it essential for a virtuous and meaningful life.

COMPASSION

“The purpose in life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”—Ralph Waldo Emerson
